Although the mainly purple-and-green background color scheme had a depressing effect on me over time, I could never get enough of the character animation. For example, the kitty-fly not only serves as an air taxi, it can transport crates and other objects with its tail.Īnalysis: Parasite is yet another great-looking game from Nitrome. Most of the gameplay over the course of the game's 20 levels revolves around using the natural abilities of these creatures to overcome obstacles. Most of your victims will take one of three forms: a kitten with insect wings, a silverback bear-monkey, or a gob-horking pig. Once you have enslaved a creature, press to use its unique ability (if it has one) and to abandon it to live out the rest of its days in peace and prosperity. Your best survival strategy then, as a morally flexible space parasite, is to find a medium-sized creature and jump on its head, thrusting your tentacles into its skull and steering it around by tugging on its brain-meats.
In a break with the Nitrome tradition of three-unit health bars, anything you touch will kill you. Move your soft, squishy, vulnerable body around with the keys and jump with the key. If you had bones, you would be bad to them. You strut when you walk, you break wind freely, and you feed on the life-blood of planets. Your space ship is a cross between a hot rod and a coal boiler.
Your goal in this new platform game from Nitrome is to destroy all of the world's tree spirits (played here by the supporting cast of Princess Mononoke) and replace them with mining structures. You are the Parasite, a squelching land squid from the stars who sees profit opportunities where a less sophisticated alien might see bunnies and butterflies.
